I saw some unique core expansion plugs at my local Pep Boys. They were hollow inside and conical shaped looking at the 
side, with a stud in the middle of one. Tightening the nut on the stud would pull the two halves together, expanding 
it. They were copper in color, I don't know if it was a plating or if they were all copper. I thought at the time they 
would be perfect for the rear heads. If I had known the size I would have bought some then and there. I could go back 
and look again, hunt for a part number maybe.
